A Small Drill. Upgrading an Instrument.

A Small Drill. Upgrading an Instrument.

To finish with the topic of instruments, I’ll show you what I bought for my drill. I bought a Dremel drill a long time ago when I just started playing with making dolls and having a drill was a requirement. I knew nothing about drills but had heard about Dremel, so I bought it. I understood...

What Is Inside a Knife or Never Buy Cheap Instruments

What Is Inside a Knife or Never Buy Cheap Instruments

The whole knife I bought this set about a year ago. Three holders and several knives. Everything was well until I started using them for more challenging tasks. Finally, the knife snapped in two when I was cutting through a thick layer of LaDoll.  The broken...

Bead Mosaic

My second cartoon made in Anime Studio Pro. The background is the embroidery kit “Green Village” from the Korean company Dome. For some reason when translated into Russian it turned into “Green Street”. Lots of people have embroidered it. With this kit there was a...

A Poppy Casket.

A Poppy Casket.

For a long time I had been cross stitching being sure that surface embroidery, including needlepainting is for the select ones. Until one day I came across a needlepainting masterclass by Mary Corbet (please visit her blog – needlenthread.com). That’s where it all started. A...

2danimator.ru forum introduced me to one of the multiple animation programmes on the market - Anime Studio Pro. It is interesting and multifunctional. I'm not using it anymore but all the cartoons that I have made so far are created using Anime Studio Pro.   My first creation is...
